When do card companies release print runs or do they?

This is the first football card season I have been investing time and money into a PC from the get-go, so I am trying to gain some perspective. There are seemingly a lot of non-serial numbered rookie autos in all the sets released so far...which is fine I guess. But is this the norm?

When looking at some of the stuff on Ebay there are so many autos of rookies, on card too!!! But how many are out there? Are card companies just running the presses this year, or are people just busting/selling more? I am getting hesitant of buying any more because in two months most of them will be selling for $0.99.

How many of those Topps sticker rookie autos are being printed? The 'sp' don't seem to be that short printed at all when there are 5-10 of them in the first week on Ebay. Thoughts?

unless it's a parallel with a set amount of autos attached to it (or printed on the card), then it's just speculation.
